Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A fresh look at Newbigin's wisdom for the Western church'Becoming a Missionary Church offers a historical assessment and balanced critique of contemporary church movements--missional, emergent, and center church--especially in light of Lesslie Newbigin's missional ecclesiology.'The authors' exposition and application of the missionary life and theology of Newbigin is a master class of clarity and illumination, repeatedly offering eye-opening insights as to how we have come to be where we are in the Western world (and wherever the toxins of Western idolatries have penetrated). Any church that is praying for a fruitful missionary encounter with their surrounding culture will find here a rich resource of biblically rooted priorities, characteristics, and practices.'--Christopher J. H. Wright, Langham Partnership; author of The Mission of God'Becoming a Missionary Church persuasively articulates an invigorating Newbigin-inspired vision for renewing the culturally captive North American church that is more compelling than contemporary alternatives. Both my understanding of what is necessary for renewing the church and my passion for deeper engagement in that task have grown because of this book.'--Amy L. Sherman, author of Kingdom Calling and Agents of Flourishing'This book is overflowing with rich insights regarding the missionary nature of the church. Goheen and Sheridan engage in conversation with past developments in missionary ecclesiology as well as recent trends like the missional church movement, the emergent church conversation, and Tim Keller's center church. In each case, the authors allow Newbigin's seminal vision of the church in mission to provide a welcome and needed corrective.'--Dean Flemming, MidAmerica Nazarene University; author of Contextualization in the New Testament'A fresh look at Newbigin's wisdom for the Western church. This book is for all who take seriously God's mission and the call to be a missionary church.'--Jim Mullins, lead pastor, Redemption Church Tempe'The nuanced missiological reflection in this book is a priceless gift to readers.

But in form and method, it's a master class in how to read the Bible directly and accurately, aided by classic, doctrinal wisdom. Introducing readers to clear rules and proven tools, Jamieson and Wittman put theology where it belongs: in service of knowing God through his Word. Biblical Reasoning is a triumph, a gift given to equip the saints for the work of interpretation.'--Fred Sanders, Torrey Honors College, Biola University'Does biblical exegesis, when done with modern tools, collapse the classical dogmatic consensus on the Trinity and Christ Jamieson and Wittman show us why the answer is no through a careful introduction to what Scripture is, what hearing Scripture's truth involves, and why the realities of the Trinity and the incarnation are biblical. This book requires the attention of all catholic (and Catholic) Christians.'--Matthew Levering, Mundelein Seminary'Over the last few decades, believing scholars within both theology and biblical studies have been trying to retrieve and reappropriate the riches of the Christian tradition that have fared poorly in the modern era. Well versed and deeply rooted, Jamieson and Wittman represent this vision with wisdom, beauty, verve, and practicality. This book gives me hope and courage for the ongoing task of a robust ecclesial life guided by Holy Scripture and biblical reasoning.'--Jonathan T. Pennington, Southern Seminary; pastor of spiritual formation, Sojourn East Church'In this profoundly learned, instructive, and helpful work, Jamieson and Wittman outline and exemplify a number of well-tried exegetical principles and tools for discerning in Scripture the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. This is a book of generational significance that deserves to be read by all teachers and serious students of the Bible.'--Scott R. Swain, Reformed Theological Seminary.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Every element of trinitarian doctrine here receives a cogent, biblically grounded presentation'This introduction draws on the breadth of the Christian tradition to present a biblically grounded, globally informed, and conceptually precise account of the doctrine of the Trinity.'This book is exactly what we have been needing: an evenhanded introduction to trinitarianism that displays the conceptual foundations, building up the doctrine precept on precept, in proper sequence. By organizing the material conceptually rather than historically, Butner frees himself to call on an exceptionally wide range of witnesses from all eras of theological history and all corners of the theological world. Trinitarian Dogmatics resources contemporary readers with much-needed clarity, breadth, and depth.'--Fred Sanders, Torrey Honors College, Biola University'What an impressive book! I don't think there is another book like this one, and it is high time that the lacuna is rectified. Its scope of topics, breadth of scholarship, and balanced judgments in defense of classical trinitarian doctrine are just extraordinary--and the book is beautifully written, to top it off. Every element of trinitarian doctrine here receives a cogent, biblically grounded presentation. Highly recommended!'--Matthew Levering, Mundelein Seminary'Butner offers a true dogmatic account of the doctrine of the Trinity that is generous, engaging, and clearly tied to our life and work. He approaches each topic in a fresh way, while remaining grounded within the pro-Nicene tradition. For those new to the doctrine and for those who have studied it for many years, this book is for you.'--Madison Pierce, Western Theological Seminary'Trinitarian Dogmatics tackles the many questions surrounding Christian belief in the trinitarian God in a manner that is clear yet rigorous. It is both a good place to start and an original contribution to current discussion on the Trinity.'--Aristotle Papanikolaou, Orthodox Christian Studies Center, Fordham University'Equally astute in his retrieval of Nicene trinitarianism and unwavering in his commitment to scriptural revelation, Butner illuminates the countless ways our trinitarianism is malnourished, desperate for a dose of dogmatics. May this book be the firstfruits of a plentiful harvest to come in the recovery of trinitarian dogmatics.'--Matthew Barrett, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary; author of Simply Trinity.

Gladd, series editor'Andreas Köstenberger's Handbook is immensely informative and eminently readable, helping students, pastors, and more generally readers of the New Testament acquire an in-depth understanding of an often neglected but highly important part of the Scriptures. It can be used as an introduction, a brief commentary, or a guide in one's personal reading of the Bible. I highly recommend this book.'--Eckhard J. Schnabel, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary; associate editor, Bulletin for Biblical Research'It is no mean feat to strike a middle course between New Testament introduction and New Testament commentary: it is all too easy to succumb either to superficiality or to an inundation of details.

It offers tremendous help to students, pastors, and anyone else interested in understanding these books without getting stuck in the weeds.'--Constantine R. Campbell, senior vice president of global content and Bible teaching, Our Daily Bread Ministries'Here, finally, we have a volume on Hebrews to Revelation that is more detailed than a typical New Testament introduction but not as overwhelming as a commentary.
